The city of Puyallup has identified 10 streets downtown that could receive crossing enhancements and traffic-calming devices to make them safer for pedestrians.

Stewart Avenue, Shaw Road, Wildwood Park Drive, Fruitland Avenue and Pioneer Avenue are some of the streets that could see changes in the near future.

“The goal is to make it safer for families to walk and bike to school — that can be promoting walking and biking, that can be developing projects that remove barriers that prevent people from walking and biking to school,” said Emily Alice Gerhart, transportation planner for Fehr & Peers, the consulting group working with the city.
